[Video] After his first day of rocket bootcamp cuz time is fake

[giftofswift]

[It's later in the evening when a new message pops up on the network and from a new recruit to boot! Finally freed from the first day of training, Hermes made no time in making himself acquainted with the network of this world. It was new for mortals as far as he was aware, but still simple to pick up on its uses. It was charming in its own way and faster than mortal couriers!

When the video clicks on he's reclining in what can only be guessed as the on of the bunks, still in uniform though he's swapped the hat back for his golden laurels. All smiles for the camera.]

Hey there! Got a quick message for you all!

[He clears his throat and as if he were reading something out loud, he continues.]

While I can't say I'm too impressed with all of this so far, I've decided, though I suppose with little other choice, to grant you all the boon of my aid. Limited as it may be within these mortal constraints. As such, feel free to call upon me should you need me! Ah, after this mandatory training of course.

Sincerely, your newest coworker, Hermes.

[And just as quick as he got that ramble of a message out, he clicks off the feed.]

Well, Dirk might beat me. He probably will, actually.

[Carly might or might not. It depended if she cared to try, Steven thinks.]

Is a petasos a round brimmed hat with a round crown?

[giftofswift]

Another one of our otherworldly coworkers I take it?

[Strange name, but admittedly so was a name like Steven Durante. Verging on familiar, but still so far away.]

Yes. Keeps the sun out of one's eyes. Can't say I've never worn one, but.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

Tell me, Steven, you must have been here quite a while to achieve your rank. What do you think of this place? Truthfully.

[fingersandteeth]

Mmhm. Fellow by the name of Dirk Strider. As for this place--

[He's quiet for a moment.] It's-- not bad. In many ways, it's a very... innocent world, I guess you might say.

[giftofswift]

[He makes a mental note on Dirk Strider, if he's to be stuck in this realm he may as well learn who all his coworkers are.]

Innocent? Really now, please do elaborate.

[fingersandteeth]

[Steven considers how best to explain it.]

Well. I suppose the best example would be Team Rocket itself. We're an organized criminal syndicate. In most worlds, that would mean that we'd be neck deep in prostitution, hard drugs, and murder-for-hire, right?

In this world we mostly just steal pokemon to resell them on the black market. Well and money too. We definitely also steal a lot of money.
